Donate a holiday meal to USO’s 'Turkeys for Troops'

Since partnering with WUSA9 in 2009, the annual Turkeys for Troops Telethon has raised over $1.1M for a program that delivers a taste of home to servicemembers.

WASHINGTON — Tis the season for gratitude and giving back! 

WUSA9 and the USO of Metropolitan Washington-Baltimore (USO-Metro) are once again teaming up to raise money to thank our military families this holiday season. We’d like to thank them by providing Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets with all the trimmings. It’s part of a program called Turkeys for Troops.

Starting at 9 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 11 through 6:30 p.m. you can call 202-895-5560 to make a donation. Or, you can donate online here: https://usometro.org/turkeys

A $50 donation will feed a family of six. The holiday baskets will contain canned goods, stuffing, pie makings, corn bread mix and a gift card for a fresh turkey or ham. 

If you prefer mailing a check, versus donating online, you can send your donation to: 

USO
P.O. Box 1710
Fort Myer, VA 22211

On the check memo line please include: 2022 Turkeys for Troops Telethon

Since partnering with WUSA9 in 2009, the annual Turkeys for Troops Telethon has raised over $1.25M in support of a program that delivers a taste of home and a heartfelt thanks to our service members and their families during this special holiday time.

On behalf of our soldiers, sailors and airmen, thank you for your generosity.
